Performer: Alan Oke

Isabella Bywater directs an evocative new production of Britten’s ghost opera, well performed at the Coliseum. 

Margaret Atwood’s dystopic novel, masterfully adapted for the operatic stage, is strongly performed at ENO and rings even truer today than it did when it was written.

Olivia Fuchs gives a powerful staging of Janáček's morality tale of the perils of eternal youth, with an excellent cast, but there are reservations about the title role.
